Since the rim doesn't sit centered between the hub flanges on wheels with external gears, it's very common for wheels to have different spoke lengths on DriveSide(DS) and NDS.

With an OC rim the nipple holes end up a little closer to flange center. Possibly, but not guaranteed, to allow the same length spokes to be used.

I recommend you remove one spoke from each side and measure what you got to be able to do a good prediction WRT spoke reuse.
